SAS Expands Summer 2027 Network From Copenhagen
Scandinavian Airlines will add flights on more than 20 routes and introduce two seasonal destinations from Copenhagen for summer 2027.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Air Travel
SAS unveiled its summer 2027 traffic programme, increasing services on seven intercontinental routes from Copenhagen and adding flights on more than 20 routes across Scandinavia and Europe. The airline will also launch two seasonal routes, from Copenhagen to Ljubljana and Menorca.
Why it matters
The expansion strengthens Copenhagen's position as a major international hub in Northern Europe and reinforces SAS's presence across the region. Added capacity gives travellers more nonstop options between Scandinavia and long-haul destinations.
Copenhagen to Ljubljana will run twice weekly from 25 June to 6 August 2027, and Copenhagen to Menorca once a week from 30 June to 4 August 2027. Seattle will receive five weekly flights and Atlanta daily departures, though the extraction does not specify seat totals or fares.
The players
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)
Scandinavian Airlines is the flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, operating a network across Europe, North America and Asia from its Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo hubs.
The details
SAS will deploy Airbus A350 aircraft on routes to Chicago and Mumbai, replacing the Airbus A330, and Mumbai will operate its first full summer season for the airline. Additional flights will link Copenhagen with Stockholm, Aarhus, Geneva, Barcelona and Venice, while Stockholm gains services to northern Sweden, Rome, Milan and Madrid, and Oslo adds capacity to Manchester, Brussels and Rome.
Timeline
Summer 2027: expanded SAS summer traffic programme takes effect.
25 June 2027 to 6 August 2027: twice-weekly Copenhagen to Ljubljana seasonal service operates.
30 June 2027 to 4 August 2027: weekly Copenhagen to Menorca seasonal service operates.
Travel Outlook
Copenhagen's expansion extends its role as a long-haul gateway for Northern Europe, with daily services to Tokyo, Seoul and Washington reinforcing the hub's intercontinental reach. The seasonal additions to Ljubljana and Menorca also follow the pattern of summer leisure routes that airlines schedule to capture peak-season European travel demand.
Travellers planning summer 2027 trips to Ljubljana, Menorca or the expanded intercontinental routes from Copenhagen should check SAS schedules as dates approach. Booking early may help secure seats on the new seasonal flights, which operate only during the stated summer windows.
The takeaway
Copenhagen is becoming a stronger connecting point between Scandinavia, North America and Asia, which may give travellers more direct options. Checking summer schedules early can help when choosing routes and dates.
